Abstract: The present invention provides a fluorine-containing volume holographic data recording material making it unnecessary to provide a step of eliminating a specific solvent even in the case of a thick film, and having high hologram performance and good dynamic range. There is provided a composition comprising a base polymer (a), a liquid monomer (b) and a photo-initiator (c), wherein the base polymer (a) is an amorphous polymer comprising a fluorine-containing monomer as a structural unit and having a fluorine content of 26 to 80% by mass, the liquid monomer (b) comprises at least one liquid monomer (b1) initiating polymerization by means of activated species generated from the photo-initiator (c), the photo-initiator (c) is a compound causing the liquid monomer (b1) to initiate polymerization by exposure to light having excellent coherence and, and a refractive index of the liquid monomer (b) is higher than an average refractive index of a mixture of the base polymer (a) and the photo-initiator (c).

Abstract: There is provided a curable fluorine-containing polymer composition which is quickly cured at relatively low temperatures by hydrosilylation reaction and provides a coating film which has high hardness, excellent solvent resistance and flexibility. The curable fluorine-containing polymer composition comprises a fluorine-containing polymer comprising a fluorinated ethylenic monomer unit and a non-fluorinated ethylenic monomer unit, in which a part or the whole of the non-fluorinated ethylenic monomer units is a unit represented by the formula: wherein R1 is hydrogen or methyl; R2 is a hydrocarbon group having ethylenic C?C; X is —C(O)NH— or —C(O)—; R3 is —O—, —O[CH(R4)]mO—, —(CH2)mO—, —OC(O)—(CH2)mO— or —(CH2)mOC(O)—(CH2)nO—, where R4 is —H, —OH, —CH2OH or —O—X—R2, a siloxane compound having hydrogen atom bonded to silicon atom, and a catalyst for hydrosilylation reaction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a water-soluble fluorine-containing vinyl ether which comprises subjecting a fluorine-containing 2-alkoxypropionic acid derivative represented by the following general formula (I): (wherein A represents —OM1 or —OM21/2, and M1 represents an alkali metal and M2 represents an alkaline earth metal; X represents a halogen atom; Y1 and Y2 are the same or different and each represents a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a perfluoroalkyl group or a fluorochloroalkyl group; n represents an integer of 0 to 3, and n of Y1s may be the same or different; m represents an integer of 1 to 5, and m of Y2s are the same or different; and Z represents a hydrophilic group) to thermal decomposition at a temperature of not lower than 50° C. but lower than 170° C.
